Whirlwind (-_-)

I won the roll off to go first and duly took it. Plan was to keep the platoon stationary for one turn (while shooting everything) then move forwards firing grenade launchers and massed lasguns and try to make it into the objective in the craters. Heavy weapons teams would baby sit the home objective whilst hopefully having some sort of field of fire while mobile vets and pcs would either go onto capture objectives or act as back/sweep up free ones in the late game.

Hellhound would move up generally being a nuisance and hopefully frying some scouts - if that failed my eradicator nova could give it a shot too. CCS deployed close to the blob to give orders and the executioner stayed in reserve to avoid the overcrowding that happened last time.

Deployment

Paul deployed sort of mirroring my deployment with the scouts scouting onto the objective in the tallest building. Some marines hiding on the floor below, the razorback on my left flank, while mephiston, a landspeeder and the whirlwind were on my right. Hopefully I could cause some damage with my vendetta on turn 1.

Turn 1

The gunline :D

Paul rolls a six and seizes the iniative...

silence fills the battlefield as the Imperial forces await the enemy's next move...

Which quickly appears in the form of dreadnought landing in the midst of imperial lines and promptly failing with his meltagun against the eradicator...

Having suffered very minor lossses the imperial gunline begins a bombardment causing minor casaulties to the traitorous marines.

Autocannons and grenade launchers are deployed against the enemy whirlwind but to little effect.
